tHe CreAtiVe mE


The creative me

Bound so closely

Opposite the door inside of me

I see you cloudy above me

 

A stream of rhythm

Ohh so closely hidden

I can see you but not quite

Like a beauty in my darkest night

 

I am right beyond your anger

Two steps beyond your fear

There I lie

Please won’t you stop letting me die!

 

Have courage, take heed

For then you will fulfill your greatest need

A world that shines bright

Amidst a dance of your own light

 

As you sit in Fright

Abstaining from my delight

They delight, in causing fright,

Murdering each other each night

 

Who cares about the voice of a white man!

We’ve heard it a thousand times!

If you want gold you take it

Women, rape it.

Drugs, vape it

Children, steal it

 

Violence is your only method

We blame you for sparking our hatred

Because it’s your fault

and yet you still default

on loans robbed from my kin!

 

We don’t care about your delight

Fuck off! your darkest night is my easiest light

Who cares about the voice of white man

Damned and Crippled by gremlins in his head

 

Who cares about the voice of a white man?

The KKK

My people, my enemy

A villain needing to be dealt with creatively

So when I look for the creative me

Please stop shitting on me

 

As Slavery cracked

Cowardly whites sat

As the Holocaust withered

Cowardly whites fattened

 

But when I find the creative me

Maybe we’ll stop shooting each other desperately

But yet I must thank you

For without you my courage would wain

A search for creativity only in vain  

 

Your voice is loud and you have been heard  

So let me shout and my voice be heard

For I will destroy in a word

Men who called you just a herd
